Water For Your Mine
Africa's mining sector is diverse and plays a crucial role in the continent's economic development. As a mineral-rich continent, the continued expansion of this industry is critical to accelerating the economic growth of the continent. At Greenchain Group, we recognize the vital importance of water and wastewater management within the mining sector, and we are dedicated to supporting the industry's growth by solving the water-related challenges through continuous innovation.
​
We recognize that efficient water management is integral to the sustainable operation of mining activities, ensuring environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance. Efficient water management has become increasingly integral to the sustainable operation of mining activities, ensuring environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance. By reevaluating current perspectives on the value of on-site water and wastewater, we can implement innovative ways to manage these resources (e.g. circularity via reclamation). Improvements in water quality and the adoption of new technology, can enhance operational efficiency, improve product quality and capacity, and reduce running costs.
Leveraging our expertise and a diverse range of technologies as we collaborate to discover innovative ways to safeguard your water resources.
What we do for your mine
We specialize in designing and manufacturing sustainable and innovative multi-barrier water treatment plants tailored to the unique needs of mining operations.
Whether it's process water treatment, providing potable water supply at manned camps, tailings and AMD (acid mine drainage) treatment, membrane mineral separation, rehabilitation of contaminated sites, discharge water treatment, or reticulation, we leverage our expertise and diverse range of technologies to meet the specific requirements of each mining project.
Our core offerings include technologies such as:
MF
Media Filtration
Porous materials ideally suited to bulk water clarification (e.g. AFM), removal of volatiles and odors (GAC), and fluoride and heavy metal reduction. Essential pre-treatment for membrane filtration.
IX
Ion Exchange
Targeted ion removal via innovative and sustainable 2-pass membrane technology or traditional resin exchange type systems.
MF
Microfiltration
A versatile, low-energy, efficient treatment technique that effectively removes suspended solids, bacteria, and algae falling within the 0.1-10 micrometer range. It significantly improves water quality and is well suited to clarification in combination with lamella technology.
ZLD
Zero-Liquid-Discharge
Minimize or eliminate liquid waste discharge. A combination of technologies that allow for the treatment and recovery of water from waste streams, enhancing operational sustainability, reducing expensive disposal costs, and cutting freshwater demand.
Advanced Membrane Technology: High quality membrane components selected to suit the application.
Process Optimization: Optimize existing or future water treatment systems & processes.
Treatment & Recovery: Neutralize acidity & recover metals.
Service Agreements: Improve service intervals, reduce downtime & improve equipment longevity.
Remote & Mobile: Containerized solutions are ideal for remote mines.
High quality treated water:
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD): Working towards water circularity.
Risk Management: Mitigate water related risks & improve financial & environmental sustainability.
Sources include: Groundwater, surface water, seawater, effluent/wastewater.
Financing options available.
Compliance: Adhere to legal requirements & meet the norms.
